1 - 44 yr old close friend - very tech savvy - mostly used for work - should be easy I think.

To me, those "very tech savvy" are the worst to convert. People who are ignorant in computers just learn what some icons do and that is enough. For all the rest they ask you. People who have some deeper knowledge on Windows tend to become very cranky moving to Linux, because they are used to be the ones people come for help, now they find themselves to be the ones that need help. And a lot of them move back to Windows because they resist changing.

I feel like the lack of impact from the sounds of hitting people is a trailer thing, with the music turned up

Nope. I installed the demo and played it myself. The hit sound do lack power, is like the characters are hitting a pillow. SoR4 got it just right.

Yeah, this one felt a bit unfinished.The sound of your strikes lack some impact, it feels like they got the sound effect of punching a couch or something.

But overall I feel the game have potential. Looks like they sill have a couple months before the release, so I hope they can address most of the problems gamers have pointed in the gameplay.

As of bugs, at least in my rig, it didn't recognized my controllers. They worked fine trough Proton tough.

I would love to get one of those, but unfortunately Valve won't sell me one...

What are the controller problems on Linux? I played on launch day and didn't notice anything wrong.

This is nice and cool but, when will they start selling their hardware at south of the equator line?

I'm honestly surprised that there isn't some cheap knockoff of this series called "Solid Knight" on Steam. With all the shovelware and AI bullshit, you'd think that there'd be one on there. lol

There are a lot of imitations of it on Steam. Some are so shameless in imitating its art stile, at a glance you could mistake them as something from Team Cherry.

It had the potential to have better graphics than the DX11 era SCS games, but ruined it with that grey/beige filter typical of low budget Unity Engine games.

But I don't see much of the crowd of the SCS games jumping the fence to invest money on this. But I confess if they release a demo I may try it.

Also, SCS support Linux gaming for a long time now, and I only saw one title from Saber on Linux, so that is a pass from me.

I wish him/her luck. The N64 architecture is not easy to implement on emulators, so if this new one is a good improvement on the earlier ones, then thank you very much.

Also, with the decompilation projects now, I hope they can leverage the new discoveries the community did in the last couple years.

"As the industry has shifted towards more complex, feature-rich, lengthier games, we wanted to go in the other direction: providing a one-button shmup that’s fun from the moment you pick it up!" said Anthony Flack, Lead Games Designer at Claymatic Games. "You don’t need to learn any complicated combos or absorb a bookish tutorial teaching how you can have fun later. Instead, you get right to the action. Platypus Reclayed is designed to be something you pick up for 20 minutes before bed or on your lunch break, but you enjoy every second of it!"

Amen brother. Back then you could finish a game in 30 minutes and nobody were bitching about it. Now if a game last 10 hours "it is too short". Personally, I prefer a short game with real thought put in the stage and gameplay details, than 30 to 60 hours of boring stuff made by AI to artificially made a game longer.
